The Academy's shooting percentage was notably low at just 28 percent from the field. On defense, they managed to secure six steals but were unable to capitalize on these opportunities effectively.

Walker scored 10 points and grabbed seven rebounds while maintaining a high shooting efficiency of 71 percent from two-point range. However, his efforts were overshadowed by UNLV's dominance in both offensive and defensive rebounds.

The Runnin' Rebels maintained control throughout this period by extending their lead further thanks to efficient ball movement that resulted in fourteen assists overall.
